From Bandcamp, "Ah, "Attractor"… it's the album that finally let the blackboard crack. It's about the moment certainty develops a tremor in its hands. What kept returning to us—what the whole thing turns on—was a rather simple and rather devastating question: what do we do with the things that don't fit? Because science—real science, the practice of it, not the mythology—has always kept a drawer. A bottom drawer. Into it go the readings that wobble, the margins that misbehave, the little irregularities that refuse to lie flat against the model. They get labelled. Noise. Contamination. Instrument error. The drawer is shut, the blackboard stays clean, and one goes home with the comforting illusion that reality has been properly understood. "Attractor" is about what was in the drawer."

The album has five songs, and "Flatline" is first. Clean, tense tones open the song, and the harsh vocals that follow are horrid. The screams seem to dig into your ears and deposit in your brain. Although there is a decent amount of somber melodies, and they are beguiling, there is also aggression. The way these two things are combined however makes the music as vital as it is. The clean vocal harmonies are one bright spot for sure, as are the strings. "'Tis a Pity They Drew Cones" features more aggression, especially in the vocals. They rage with an intensity that you can't even measure using standard devices. But the music undulates and breathes underneath them. There is also this effect that comes out on the album that cause you to flinch after each beat. Is it intentional? For me, that's the perfectly misaligned feeling to the music.

"Feigenbaum Knows" is another deeply contentious offering, with the aggressive bite of blast beat drums and a full suite of guitars. There is very little melody, as the song seeks the wrath of a ghost brought back to haunt. "Lorenz (Or in a Season of Error)" bring melody back to the feast again. Though the vocals rage without giving an inch, the music keeps the song from diving off a precipice and into the black hole below. "They Can't Keep Everything Out" closes the album. It rages with both aggression and feeling, and it raises your sense of things around you. Clean tones remain at the end, following a full five minutes of a beating, and they don't leave you with answers…just more questions.

Things that don't fit…there are a lot of these in the world. We probably notice it more with people than anything else. The bottom drawer is a metaphor for things we don't want to confront, or live with. Society may frown on these irregularities, but I say that's the truly good stuff in life, and there is more of it out there than most people take the time to notice. The real illusion is that there are more beautiful people out there than us "normal" or regular Johns.
